Calling a "sailor" a "soldier" is like calling all doctors "surgeons." They were different occupations in WWII & Vietnam. During the Vietnam War US Soldiers belonged to the US Army; US Marines belonged to the US Marine Corps, US Airmen were part of the US Air Force, US Coast Guardsmen were members of the USCG, and men of the US Navy were called US Sailors. Approximately 174,000 US Sailors served in the Viet War.
